keynote Session 1: Effective COVID 19 incident investigation
The COVID-19 pandemic has swept the world and created unique issues for employers and safety professionals when it comes to determining whether COVID-19 transmission in the workplace is a likely hazard and which are the appropriate measures to take. In the United States, while there is no federal enforcement program specific to COVID-19, some states have gone ahead with emergency standards, some of which include illness reporting requirements to the state OSHA agency or public health department. Determining which cases are work-related is critical in ensuring that other workers do not become ill, to avoid workplace transmission, and to have accurate recordkeeping for OSHA and worker's compensation purposes. This presentation will outline the basics of COVID-19 recording and reporting essentials, as well as how to develop effective investigation of COVID-19 reports and other incidents.
